Snow chains on i80 over the summit
by x1buellist » Thu Jan 08, 2015 4:04 pm
Would I have to have snow chains to get over the summit to Reno? I have never really driven in the snow and am wondering if I need to buy a set (or 2).
Trying to find time to use these Jeeps

They generally let you pass thru if you have mud terrains or a good snow rated all terrain tire.
I like banter!

I think it will only be a concern if it's actively snowing. If it's clear, the road will be plowed and I wouldn't think it woul be an issue.

Of course, if you have the backspacing clearance and want to get some heavy duty v-bar chains for the trail, that's different.

If you have the magic symbol:
